You can install all of the components on one computer for evaluation purposes or you can use the integrated installer to install different components on multiple systems and platforms. In order to do this, you must run through the integrated installation program multiple times and select the appropriate components.
Ensure that you have completed the following prerequisites before starting the integrated installation program.
IMPORTANT:Sentinel Log Management for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) can be installed only in Linux environments. If you want to evaluate the identity applications and the Identity Reporting features in Identity Manager, you must install Sentinel Log Management for IGA on a Linux computer before using the integrated installer on a Windows computer.
Before installing eDirectory, you must have a method for resolving tree names to server referrals. NetIQ recommends using Service Location Protocol (SLP) services. Releases of NetIQ eDirectory before version 8.8 included SLP in the installation. However, after version 8.8, you must separately install SLP. For more information, see Using OpenSLP or hosts.nds for Resolving Tree Names in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
You must configure a static IP address on the server for the eDirectory infrastructure to perform efficiently. If you use DHCP addresses on the server, eDirectory might have unpredictable results. Ensure that the DNS name of the computer can be resolved. If not, add an entry for this computer in the /etc/hosts file so that the DNS name is resolvable.
Synchronize time across all network servers. NetIQ recommends using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) option.
(Conditional) When installing the components in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x environment, ensure that the computer has the correct libraries. For more information, see Installing Identity Manager on an RHEL 7.x Server in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
(Conditional) For a guided installation on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1 or later platforms, ensure that the computer has the following libraries installed:
libXtst6-32bit-1.2.1-4.4.1.x86_64
libXrender-32bit
libXi6-32bit
In general, you can download the .rpm files from a website such as http://rpmfind.net/linux. For example, you can download libXtst6-32bit-1.2.1-4.4.1.x86_64.rpm from this web page.
Ensure that the unzip rpm is installed on any Linux platform you are using.
The /etc/hosts file can contain only one loopback address. If there is more than one loopback address, remove it by using an editor to correct the configuration. For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost #loopback #127.0.0.2 server1 192.0.2.1 server1
You must have administrative rights to the Windows computer in order to install Identity Manager with the integrated installer.
Your Windows operating system should be running the latest service packs before you begin the installation process.
The following requirements are applicable when you are installing all of the components, or most of the components, on the same computer. If you need to know the requirements for a specific component, see Considerations and Prerequisites for Installation in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
Use the following information to ensure that you can successfully install and configure your Identity Manager system.
